"Up Around the Bend" is a song recorded by the North American band Creedence Clearwater Revival, and written by the band's lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter, John Fogerty. The song was composed and recorded only a few days prior to the band's April 1970 European tour and was included on the album Cosmo's Factory. Released as a single, with "Run Through the Jungle" on the flipside, the double-sided single climbed to number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1970.
